Copleston School Careers Fair

Director Mark Bailey, Management Trainee Matthew Ager and HR Manager Trish Stutter from Barnes Construction attended the Your Future Careers Fair at Copleston High School on 21st March 2016 aimed at their pupils aged from 11 to 17/18 years old. Trish said we had a lively afternoon with quite a number of the pupils interested in construction and taking away information leaflets. Our aim was not just talk about the trades available in construction but also the job opportunities for those who attain good academic results who want to pursue a really interesting and rewarding career. What can be more exciting than watching a building go up and know that you have played a key role in the design, as a Design Manager or managed the site, as a Site Manager, or pulled all the sub-contractors and materials together, as a Quantity surveyor?
